Chapter 465 Eventful Autumn
August 9, 1928, 4 a.m. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Escorted by two small gunboats of the Navy of the Nationalist Government, the 500-ton luxury passenger ship of the Jiangnan Water Transport Company quietly left the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing and sailed up the river.
At this moment, An Yi, who was lying in the first-class cabin, was still asleep, and four doctors and nurses who came with the ship from the old Nanchang Hospital sat beside An Yi and closely monitored him.
Hu Jialin's expression was grim, and he personally led Qi Xiuping's special agent battalion to take charge of the security work along the way, he and Shen Fengdao inspected a circle, returned to the sleeping An Yi together, took out the file solemnly handed over by Gong Qian before leaving, opened it carefully, and found that they were all confidential regulations of the Central Party Department and extremely confidential training materials, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Shen Fengdao took out his cigarette, hesitated when lighting the fire with a match, then shook his head and put the cigarette and match back in his pocket.
Hu Jialin was quite surprised for a while when he saw that Shen Fengdao, who had never smoked, had broken his ring, he thought about it and was relieved, he knew that Shen Fengdao had been feeling guilty about An Yi's assassination, and it was not strange that he wanted to smoke to relieve his boredom, so he put away the file, stood up and called Shen Fengdao out of the cabin, and the two leaned on the railing of the ship to light a cigarette, and talked in a low voice after swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog.
"Huzi, your senior brother has arrived in Tianjin?" Shen Fengdao asked.
Hu Jialin nodded: "Yes, I have settled down." Within two days of arriving in Tianjin, he bought a traditional Chinese medicine shop opened by a Cangzhou villager in the concession for 5,000 oceans, and visited some local martial arts figures and celebrities, and it is estimated that his wife and children also arrived in Tianjin at this time.
With the calmness of the senior brother and many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, I believe that he will soon be able to take root there, and when the juniors of several divisions who have entered the secret training of the old Nanchang base go north after completing their studies, it is estimated that they will be able to officially carry out their work at that time. ”
Shen Fengdao nodded: "It seems that Xiao Yi's decision is right, it is not too late to establish the North China Intelligence Station from now on, so that it will not be long before the situation in the north can enter our field of vision, especially every move of the Japanese, we can't easily miss it, otherwise there will be problems......
Hey, it may be that this assassination greatly stimulated him, otherwise he wouldn't have made up his mind so quickly, judging from his test of that Hou Wuliang a few days ago, he was completely angered by the Japanese, but the younger brother didn't expect him to be so scheming, and he let you set up three intelligence stations so quickly, I'm afraid that these three intelligence stations will also monitor Hou Wuliang's family with a secret mission, right? ”
"It's still early, it will take at least half a year before it officially starts, and in this half-year preparation period, we have to lay a solid foundation, which may come in handy in the future.
However, the greater the expectation, the greater the pressure! Don't look at Xiao Yi who took out 50,000 yuan at once to let the foolish brother establish three intelligence stations in Tianjin, Beiping and Baoding, in fact, he doesn't have much confidence in this in his heart, these areas have always been outside the control of the southern national government, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, plus the Japanese forces are everywhere, it is really difficult to do!
Although Xiao Yi didn't say anything, I could feel his helpless but urgent mood. This guy's scheming is getting deeper and deeper, and even I can't guess what he's thinking now, so I can only do my best not to disappoint him. Hu Jialin sighed, shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Shen Fengdao originally suspected that An Yi not only asked Hu Jialin to set out to establish an intelligence network in North China, but also privately entrusted Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong to set up another similar intelligence network, and it is estimated that they were stationed in various sensitive areas in North China by means of chambers of commerce or business, and after gaining a firm foothold, they slowly developed and expanded, and carried out cross-work while making money and profits, and did everything possible to broaden the channels for obtaining intelligence.
Of course, as smart as Shen Fengdao, he naturally would not say the doubts in his heart, and he believed that Hu Jialin must have thought of the existence of this possibility. Although An Yi did not tell the two of them in detail about his plans, he would definitely not hide anything from Hu Jialin and himself, who shared life and death, and the reason why he did not say it now is that maybe An Yi thinks that the time has not come, or for some other reason, An Yi will definitely report in detail when the time is ripe.
"What are you thinking? Since I came back from Beiping, I haven't heard you say a few words, Xiao Jiu saw your gloomy face, his heart was very uncomfortable, and he told me several times that he wanted to apologize to you, but he didn't know how to say it to you, he was very worried that you would blame him for the dereliction of duty of the guards. The atmosphere in the guards is very strange now, and it is not conducive to unity if it continues like this! Hu Jialin looked at the blurred riverbank under the starlight and said in a low voice.
Shen Fengdao sighed: "No, the junior brother didn't blame him, nor did he blame the guards, in that complicated situation, maybe even the junior brother couldn't stop it, no matter how fast our martial arts are, no bullets will come faster!" Go back and find an opportunity, the little brother will explain him a few words, as long as the pimple in Xiao Jiu's heart is gone, the guards will return to normal. ”
"It couldn't be better! After you go back, I'm afraid you will have to be busier, Du Yi was transferred back to the base from the Nanjing Liaison Office as the head of the intelligence section, it is estimated that Lao Ding will soon be drawn out of the garrison division of Jinan and transferred to the director of the base, although you are not willing to be the chief instructor of the base, but I always feel that Xiao Yi will still let you share the secret training work of the base, after all, where are your skills, it is a waste not to train a group of talents.
At the end of the month, Hutou and I will enter the general class of the Central Military Academy for further study, and we can't help if we want to share a little, and more than 50 company and platoon commanders of the independent division, garrison division, and security forces have directly transferred to the military academy for the seventh period of study and gilding, and the training task of the troops is very heavy, and the old Nanchang base camp can only rely on you. ”
After Hu Jialin finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Shen Fengdao, and when he saw Shen Fengdao shaking his head, he refilled it himself.
Shen Fengdao turned sideways, moved his hands and feet, and felt a little more comfortable when he heard the "crackling" sound of the joints, so he said:
"Yes, it is estimated that it will be very busy next, not to mention many affairs in old Nanchang, and the military occupation of the line from Jingdezhen to Yingtan in northeast Jiangxi is even more urgent, in addition, the 44th Army in Xiangxi and the Shizhen Department in Qianxi are likely to be comprehensively rectified and strengthened, and we are afraid that we will be nervously busy.
The day before yesterday, Hans and Raute of the German Foreign Bank and two Far East managers of the American Foreign Bank came to visit Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi ordered four 250-ton gunboats, six patrol boats, and two 500-ton troop carriers, plus the purchase of other manufacturing equipment, with a total amount of 2.5 million yuan.
In this way, we will formally form our own river defense division before the end of the year, and maybe Hutou or Cheng Guang will be transferred to serve as the commander of this division. ”
Xiao Yi told Brother Yu about this, President Jiang has agreed to Xiao Yi's request, and the Poyang Lake Garrison Command will be established at the beginning of next year, which belongs to the division-level establishment under the direct leadership of the headquarters, and the headquarters is initially set in Hukou, and the garrison commander has also decided to be served by Cheng Guang.
In addition, it is very likely that the General Headquarters will hand over the current Hukou Fortress of the Jiangxi Security Command to the Jiangkou Command directly under the Central Committee, and the Central Military Commission will provide a one-time subsidy of 5 million yuan to us and Uncle De, of which 2 million will be used for the construction of the Poyang Lake Garrison.
We control Poyang Lake, which is equivalent to controlling most of northern Jiangxi, and shouldering the important task of protecting the water surface safety of Lushan, Xingzi and other areas along the lake, which is exactly what Commander-in-Chief Jiang has long wanted to do but did not have time to do, Xiao Yi got the news from Mrs. Jiang who came to visit the ward, and immediately seized the opportunity to speak, and the commander-in-chief quickly passed it orally. In this regard, our group of people together don't have as much as he has. Hu Jialin laughed.
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly: "That's right, I have always admired Xiao Yi's vision, he never does things without profit, and he can always capture opportunities in a fleeting moment." By the way, how is your 'Cangzhou Battalion' trained? ”
"At present, basic training and political education are being carried out, and after completing the studies, it will be merged with Qi Xiuping's special service battalion into the independent regiment of the division under the independent division, and three months later, an internal selection will be conducted again, and a special brigade of 500 people will be reorganized. More than half of the old brothers of the original independent division special brigade have been enriched to Yang Bin's eldest brother's security force, if we don't seize the time to train and reorganize and quickly improve combat effectiveness, it won't work!
Fortunately, the location of this training is in Nanjing, which is just a stone's throw away from the station, and I can go back at any time to see, otherwise I really don't feel at ease, the two years of operations have finally seen through the problem of special forces, this is a magic weapon for us to defeat the current domestic armies, and its role is far more than the original estimate of me and Xiao Yi when it was created, as well as the mountain brigade under the personal jurisdiction of Hutou, which is an important innovation for us to lead the domestic armies, and I believe that it will soon be promoted in the garrison division of Jinan and Brother Yang's security forces. Hu Jialin was deeply touched.
Shen Fengdao nodded: "During this time, Commander-in-Chief Jiang came to visit Xiao Yi three times, and the night before yesterday drove everyone out, only me and Mrs. Jiang could observe, or talk about the matter of the Gui Department - after Li Delin returned to Wuhan, the Gui Department immediately underwent major adjustments, among which Ye Qi's Twelfth Army quietly arrived at the Xianning line, and there were signs of going south to Pingjiang, and it was likely to take the opportunity of the Zhu Mao Red Army being defeated and leaving western Jiangxi to occupy the Hunan and Hubei borders, and then threaten the Xiushui and Ruichang lines in northern Jiangxi, At the same time, it will also play a role in monitoring and restraining the Second Army of Lu Diping in Changsha.
Commander-in-Chief Chiang asked Xiao Yi what he thought? Xiao Yi's answer was very ingenious, he asked the commander-in-chief to relax his mind, saying that although the Jiangxi security forces could not attack, it was more than enough to defend themselves, and the Gui department did not dare to easily enter northern Jiangxi and peep into the Jiujiang line, promising that as long as the central government made up its mind, he would quickly come up with a complete response plan, Commander-in-Chief Jiang was very satisfied after listening to it, and Mrs. Jiang was also very important to Xiao Yi, and repeatedly praised An Yi as the most trustworthy and loving student of the commander-in-chief. I estimate that if this battle really starts, I'm afraid that the independent division will need to participate in the war. ”
Hu Jialin looked at Shen Feng and said, "How could you tell me such a confidential matter at will?" ”
"What nonsense? I won't hide it from anyone! Actually, this was originally what Xiao Yi specially asked me to tell you, he was very worried that his brain would be confused after injecting morphine, and he might fall asleep when he saw you, and he repeatedly told me to find a time to tell you all this yesterday morning, and he never hid anything from you and me. Shen Fengdao smiled and reproached.
Hu Jialin sighed: "From the moment I decided to follow him out of the Whampoa Military Academy and into the army, I have made up my mind that I will never leave the saddle in this life, I really didn't expect that I could become a general, I thought that I would be satisfied with being a colonel and regimental commander, alas...... This guy can make the brothers who follow him die without regrets at any time, and this ability is beyond my reach even if I cultivate for a lifetime! ”
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly, saw Lin Yaodong, who had just entered An Yi's cabin, walking briskly, and hurriedly greeted him to ask, after listening to Lin Yaodong's words, he hurriedly called Hu Jialin and walked to An Yi's cabin together.
An Yi had just woken up, motioned for the medical staff to leave for the time being, and then ordered everyone to sit down, and when the cabin door closed, he asked in a low voice, "What time is it now?" ”
"It's almost dawn, and there are Wuhu waters in front of us." Lin Yaodong replied in a low voice.
An Yi blinked his sour eyelids: "Injection of analgesic morphine is really not a thing, the dizziness and chest tightness that I often had some time ago are gone, I am really worried that I will be addicted, the side effects are not ordinary, and now I have to let the young and beautiful little nurse help even pee, his grandmother's ......"
The brothers laughed softly, and Shen Fengdao asked in a low voice, "Didn't our pharmaceutical factory also refine this powder?" It can't be heroin, which is a hundred times more powerful than opium, as you say, right? ”
"No, it's pretty much the same, oops......"
Lin Yaodong hurriedly stepped forward to put a pillow on An Yi, An Yi gasped a few times, and whispered to Du Yi, who was sitting silently in the corner: "Du Yi, tell me the secret telegram you just received." ”
"Yes."
Du Yi, who was thin and tall, had a deep nose, stood up and read aloud: "Principal's urgent telegram: Hu Wendou's Sixth Army in western Jiangxi mutinied yesterday, and the army commander Hu Wendou was killed in Yongxin, and the two divisions under his command are moving towards Ji'an, and the other instructor hesitated, as if he was preparing to return to the direction of Xiangdong Chaling, and ordered the Nanchang Garrison Division to quietly surround and disarm the two armies of Jin and Wang. ”
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and An Yi said, "Hear that, right? The Sixth Army, which has a glorious history, is now completely finished, and I believe that Ji Nan also received a secret message from the principal. Beard, Lao Shen, you and Du Yi discuss it, see what to do to do it beautifully, let the big head be given to Brother Jin Handing and Brother Wang Jun, it is not easy for them to be beaten by the Red Army, let's find a way to get some equipment back, and try to capture as many light and heavy machine guns as possible from Hanyang. ”
Hu Jialin and the others immediately discussed, and in less than ten minutes, Hu Jialin reported the results of the discussion to An Yi:
"Let Lao Ding lead the special brigade of the garrison division and Xia Jianqin to lead the special service group of the Ganzhong Security Command to Xiangdong at full speed to intercept it, and the two main forces of the garrison division followed closely and quickly caught up with the instructor, under the encirclement of Wang Jun and Jin Handing, it is estimated that only the instructor who does not know where to go is still a little oily and water."
"That's exactly what I mean, send a report to Ji Nan." An Yi said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Du Yi agreed and strode towards the communication group in the rear cabin.
